I stayed in Varkala for 3 nights.
I stayed in Varkala for 3 nights. This was mainly due to train timings. 2 nights would’ve been enough. I did a yoga class and auryvedic massage on the last day this would have been better in the second day.
What I did find slightly confusing was the references to North & South Cliff whereas I think South Cliff was an extension of the cliff walk - starting with North cliff.
Plenty of choice for food although a particular favourite was Sun Francisco - the Veg Tali was delicious and good value for money.

Varkala beach is busy very busy on weekends with lots of Indian tourists. The cliff side walk has lots of restaurants and shops. We found the beach a bit rough with the waves but beyond the waves it was calm . The stairs to the beach can be challenging if you have knee issues . It’s has a good atmosphere but we prefer less touristy places hence staying at Odayam each area .

Touristic place.
Touristic place. So lots of restaurants with a large variety of meals, bars, shops, ressorts, loud music, massage.
Best restaurant is Clafouti for me.
Nice beaches, big temple.
This is a tourist destination. India' s soul not there. Crowdy, noisy, pushy salesmen, beggers, stray dogs.
Pretty dirty environment cause of littering.
2 to 3 days stay is enough.

AS OF ME, IT'S NOT SUITABLE FOR THE FAMILY TRAVELLERS, ITS UNSAFE TO ALLOW THE CHILDRENS TO PLAY IN THE SEA SOUR IT HAS DEEPER EVEN IN THE SEA SOUR, BEACH NEAR AREA HAS VERY NARROW ROADS & COJUSTED. I FELT THE CHERAI BEACH IS FAR BETTER THAN THE VARKALA.

Beautiful views from the cliffs, plenty of beaches, option to learn surfing (!), good food, and the most gorgeous mangrove/backwaters (30 mins away).... that's Varakala in nutshell. Lovely cliffside walks with breaks for some ice cream at Scoopy or a whole Israeli breakfast(yummmm) at Buddha Bar. We loved ABBA for all other hunger pangs. Having a rented scooter to go around the places away from the cliffs helps, but there were plenty of Autos as well.

Its took travel time is too far, Kerala roads are not good.
Its took travel time is too far, Kerala roads are not good. Many people not follow traffic rules. Really upset to road travel to Kerala. Many sign boards are shown only in Malayalam Language, we struggled with read.
Except that places are really good and peoples also very friendly.
The location of this hotel is absolutely amazing. It is in the middle of the nature facing a rice field. It is very quiet. At night and in the morning, you can hear the birds and frogs singing. The rooms are very big and clean. The Indian breakfast is very generous. A nice beach is just a few meters away from the hotel. You can easily walk to Varkala and Edava beach. The walk is very pleasant and beautiful. I highly recommend you to stay in this hotel if you're looking for a quiet place far from Varkala's bustle.
Quiet residential cosmopolitan locality on peaceful South Cliff, away from the bustle of North Cliff in Dec last week. Quick access to vast clean and desolate beach. Auto stand is opposite to the property. Lot of good eateries nearby. Our host recommended chimney restaurant and it didn't dissapoint. Our favourite place here was the terrace garden.All its greenery, excellent sea view and little secrets like the fish trough. The cups of tea in the morning and night sky photography still linger. Go get it.
This hostal is a gem in Varkala. I have been traveling around the world and it is very amazing to find staff that is working with passion and love for what they do. All the areas are super clean included the rooms. The location is a walking distance to the cliff, the service at reception was excellent, the room was much better then I had expected, amazing service,I loved everything about this hotel. Thank you for a magnificent stay
Food is very good especially veg. Children would love to eat Dal kichdi which is complementary too. Access to resort from Varkala sivagiri station was convenient. If people wanted to see the north cliff especially shopping and dining, we can take the road uphill by walk or auto. If u want to access the beach down, best route would be taking a walk close to Janardanaswamy temple. Kaveri elephant park is worth watching.
The staff is so good and courteous. They have arranged for the rental bike and local auto to drop us to railway station.
Access to private beach and cliff is the best part of this place.
Food served had many options to choose from.
Don't forget to meet Aslam who's managing this property. Aadith and Karthik made our stay and meals hassle free
There is a swing in the open area and a lot of desks to relax.
Honestly the best i could've got for the price paid.
The property is fairly new and clean unlike other hostels, the location is 2 mins walk from Odayam beach (which again is very clean and serene), the manager and the owner are warm and overall the vibe of cliff and coral is amazing. You should definitely go with this hostel if you plan to come to varkala and ditch the crowded north cliff area.
This is the best place to stay in Varkala. It is very close to the cliff, nevertheless very quiet and cosy and the rooms are spaciious and very clean with a very nice balkony. The people are very friendly, helping their guests with everything and making them feel at home. I liked this place so much that I came back here and I can highly recommend this place to everyone.
Beautifully thought out rooms each with their own balcony, perfect for breakfasting, reading, contemplating away from the bustle of Indian streets. A short walk from Varkala beach - 10 mins form the main cliff-top tourist restaurants and souvenir shops. Very friendly staff and owner - helpful researching and sorting our onward connections. Would definitely recommend.
Beautiful new space. Clean, comfortable and great hospitality. Property is just down a small laneway from the busy cliff side - full of cafes, restaurants and quaint gift/clothes shops. We needed to leave early for a train and the host checked in on us to make sure we arrived at our next destination safely. Best hotel we stayed in throughout our 3 weeks in India.
Home away from home, From being served the yummiest of home cooked keralan food to Every little detail of ours taken care off. Homestay was well located from the cliff and super duper clean. Rekha jee even fulfilled our request when we said we want to learn how to make appam & stew. Definately a 10/10 if you wish to stay in varkala. Will be back for sure ❤️
Pool is nice, all hotel is recently renovated and clean, adjacent to North Cliff beach although no sea view like some other nearby places . There is a cool cafe overlooking. About 20 mins walk to South Cliff with selection of excellent restaurants. You can walk 10 mins and get a bus for 10 rupees to town centre and railway station.
Very well maintained, a green cove just as in pictures. Peaceful premise, service was non intruding, pramod and gopan was very friendly and helpful with all our needs. Yako and Sophie is as much a part of the stay.
The South cliff beach is just a walk away, less crowded and picturesque cliff view
Good, decent room...
close by to the north cliff region in fact it is walkable distance.
Special mention to yasir(property owner) helped us in hiring the two wheeler and guiding us to the right visiting places as this was our first time to Varkala.....
Breakfast was not given so cannot comment on that and to understand the location varkala beach has a cliff and all restaurants and stays are on the cliff and it was 100m away from the end point of cliff , so for location it was good for 3 people stay
Location from the beach
We can visit beach anytime we want
Staff are friendly
Owner sounds cool
We get auto, cab to roam around
Lots of restaurants or shacks to eat and drink
Walking distance black sand, varkala beach and varkala cliff
